Teahan didn't play minutes for that team, so can't be blaming him. Reed and Morningstar missed nearly every shot they took, though. Sounds pretty similar to Agbaji and Braun in this entire tourney, who have a tendency to wilt in pressure moments.

If KU plays well and Miami doesn’t, KU wins by 15+
If KU plays well and Miami also plays well, KU wins by 4-8
If KU plays poorly and Miami also plays poorly, KU wins by 1-4
If KU plays poorly and Miami plays well, KU loses by 6+ [Reply]

It’d be nice to see Agbaji have a Hinrich ‘03 moment.
Hinrich was horrible against Duke in the sweet 16 and was held to 2 points. Then he exploded for nearly 30 against Arizona to get us to the Final Four. [Reply]

Kirk Hinrich was really good at basketball though. Agbaji less so.
The shots are going to be there for him due to the defense that Miami plays. Just has to make them (which he almost certainly won't based on his track record in such games). [Reply]

Well obviously Hinrich was better, but this matchup is much more favorable for a slump buster. Hinrich was playing a stacked Arizona team with Jason Gardner, Luke Walton, Andre Iguodala, Channing Frye, and Salim Stoudemire. Agbaji is playing a terrible defense. [Reply]
